Arson or Fire: 57 People Displaced In Walnut Creek Fire it's another Chris Butler Client




NOTE:  Nearly eight years later I find someone who lived in the unit that caught on Fire and hired Chris Butler.  Same story like mine - attempted murder in Sonoma, Marin, Alameda, San Francisco but NOT Contra Costa County - I've got plenty more like this one.

57 People Displaced In Walnut Creek Fire

Friday, August 18, 2006
Contra Costa County's fourth major fire in eight weeks has left 57 Walnut Creek residents displaced and rescue workers feeling exhausted, Red Cross spokeswoman Mila Fairfax said today.


The most recent, four-alarm fire began sometime after 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Broadway Plaza apartment complex at 1170 Lincoln Ave. in downtown Walnut Creek, destroying seven units and heavily damaging 10 more, according to Contra Costa County Fire Protection District spokeswoman Emily Hopkins.
Contra Costa County Fire Inspector Bob Davis said firefighters evacuated 38 units, some of which were heavily burned or gutted by flames. The floor in one unit partially collapsed, preventing firefighters from completely controlling the fire until about 10 p.m.

According to Hopkins, a male firefighter and a female resident were taken to the hospital for minor injuries. Hopkins said the firefighter has been released but she had no information today on the woman's condition.
Early this morning, residents were allowed to return to their apartments to gather personal belongings, though according to Fairfax, almost nothing was salvageable from some units.

Animal control officers spent the morning looking for missing pets, Fairfax said. She said she was hopeful because "most of the animals in the fire were cats, and cats have skill in escaping fires. If there is a way for a cat to get out, they will."
Fairfax said residents whose apartments were not damaged would probably be allowed to return home this afternoon.

The Red Cross is making available mental health professionals for fire victims, and Fairfax said two dozen people were waiting to speak with counselors by 10 a.m.

Hopkins said those displaced by the fire should visit the Red Cross service center at Civic Park Community Center, 1375 Civic Drive at North Broadway. It is open until 6 p.m. today.

"This is the fourth major fire in eight weeks in Contra Costa County, so both the first responders and Red Cross volunteers are feeling strained," Fairfax said.
The first of the four apartment fires occurred in Bay Point on June 27. The second happened on July 18 in Concord and the third fire took place in Walnut Creek on Aug. 5.

The cause of Thursday's fire, which caused an estimated $2 million in damage, is under investigation.

The Homeless Programmer Profile hired by PG&E (me)


By PETE BENNETT -

Reposted to Protect My Sons

The Untold Story that has never been told 

Walnut Creek CA: In March of 2011 the Vice President of Ravenell

Enterprizes hired me to work for PG&E's highly sensitive Gas Transmission Group Hydrotesting project.  There is something wrong with how I was hired, what occurred while working for PG&E, the critical pipeline data, the memorial day high speed swoop, the the 4th of July Parade Danville, the loss of my son, the Walnut Creek Police handling of events with my former roommate, the arrest on July 7th 2011, the unknown warrants, the lack of a license, the back support, the fact that I was recently homeless and how Ravenelle arrives with a job, a car and money then my car gets totaled by a police officer connected to an arson fire who is friends with cops now in Federal Prison? 



You be the judge and perhaps think this through when you watch the video I found with a man walking away from the San Bruno fire with what looks like two gas cans. 


I've been analyzing the video while cross correlating other videos taken after the neighborhood was on fire as it appears a news crew got close enough to the same intersection and what is missing is just as important as what's there. 

The Power Struggle with PG&E 
As for PG&E I've personally been battered many times since this fire occurred, my car has been totaled, accidents, punches, muggings and High Performance Engineers in my office about a week after this fire with a San Francisco Police Lieutenant who knows Mayor Newsome who knows that damn well that his former employee was a problem for me as I went up to Newsome in November 2010 with information about the SFPD.  

Somewhere someone is fibbing and the rest are running for the hills while my sons rot in a trailer, living on Welfare, while I battle Walnut Creek Police officers in a verbal campaign of words.   

The Endless Battles with Attorneys - you've won! 

In summer 2011 I spoke to PG&E Attorney Kate Dyer in length about my missing laptop, the accidents, hit and run plus my 2004 arson fire where I'm now positive a CHP officer intercepted the investigation by being first on the scene thereby preventing an attempted murder investigation.  Just a hunch but I called around outside of Contra Costa County asking other fire agencies about this event - they all said "you mean with flames shooting back over 100 feet no investigation?"  Yep that's what happened. 


The next problem facing Contra Costa County investigators is how would the Kinder Morgan Fire be perceived if my Mid-August Fire been determined to be Jet Fuel? 

My destination that day was Walnut Creek with possibly exiting onto to the Broadway extension which would have brought me past the same location.  I call CHP in Martinez, their answer is what do you want us to do?  Perhaps you could investigate, I've dealt with the FBI since 1988 on numerous cases, in 2001 the Arson Fire at 1776 Ygnacio Valley Road is linked to my former attorneys offices.  

If my 2004 fire was investigated then if the Kinder Morgan Fire occurred as it did then would this change how the NTSB would have investigated the PG&E Pipeline fire given the truly odd coincidences? 

I think we're going to see dual murder investigations arise from what I'm saying.   

PG&E owes me over $10,000, the Contra Costa Bar Association won't help, it's clear that my legal events have been tainted and I'm the only person in the United States that can, my attorney was beaten, that a Danville Building Inspector beat me, that my truck blew up on the Freeway, that there are no police reports about the incident, that ConFire couldn't find records for the 1776 fire, that my attorney's brother in-law was murdered, that I know three persons killed in three separate plane crashes, that five houses in my old neighborhood could have been arson fires, that two murders occurred next to my house in 1979 and the Chemical shed was hit by an arsonist but when I ask questions 30 years later? 

The pile of Bulls--- so thick it's pretty clear we've got a conspiracy but on 10/28/2013 I connected the attorneys connected me were once PG&E attorneys.  


I've had incidents at Safeway Walnut Creek, Oak Park Center, four offices in Walnut Creek, I've been beaten up, nearly run over and killed in Walnut Creek, I've posted videos of homeless men that say the same thing, I know murder victims spanning 30 years plus personally know politicians who've died from Spinal Meningitis, Contracted bacterial meningitis but I know they all know each other.  

It's time extract who doesn't have an illness, car accident or murder as this is a story of the last man standing.

Caldecott Tunnel: Eight hospitalized after smoky car fire

Caldecott Tunnel: Eight hospitalized after smoky car fire

By Erin Ivie eivie@bayareanewsgroup.com
POSTED:   11/01/2013 10:28:57 AM PDT | UPDATED:   3 DAYS AGO

OAKLAND -- Moments after thick, black smoke filled an eastbound bore of the Caldecott Tunnel on Friday morning, hundreds of motorists abandoned their cars and fled the tunnel, many clutching children's hands and carrying dogs.

"I was in my car, when all of a sudden, one or two people walked past me, then three or four, then five, then six," said San Ramon resident Kevin Watkins, whose car was stuck in the bore. "I got out and asked what was going on, and someone said we were asked to evacuate the tunnel.
"It was kind of scary. It took everybody aback."
Seven children and one adult were taken to hospitals to be treated for smoke inhalation Friday in the aftermath of a blaze that broke out at 9:51 a.m., when a 1988 Acura Legend was engulfed in flames about 500 yards from the Orinda tunnel exit. The blaze, which fire officials think started in the car's engine, was contained about 10:30 a.m., though thick smoke remained in the eastbound bore for the rest of the morning.
Moraga-Orinda Fire Department Battalion Chief Sean Perkins said fire crews contacted the Caldecott control center and requested that exhaust fans be redirected to blow smoke toward Orinda to keep visibility clear for motorists exiting the tunnel on the other end. The fans were installed after an explosive 1982 fire in the tunnel that killed seven.
However, fire crews had to enter the tunnel from the Orinda side through thick smoke, with very little visibility, Perkins said.
"Engine 45 crept along moving a couple miles per hour until they reached the car," Perkins said.
MOFD firefighters, along with two Oakland engines from the other direction, extinguished the fire. The center bore was closed in case fire crews needed to access the affected tunnel through a passageway that connects both tunnels.
Watkins, 33, said he pulled up about 9:45 a.m. to the tunnel, which already was congested with the usual morning traffic. As he entered the tunnel, a California Highway Patrol officer pulled up with his lights on and moved everyone to the right side of the bore, effectively grinding traffic to a halt.
Soon after, Watkins said, every individual inside of the tunnel was asked to evacuate. Some pulled allergen masks from their car before leaving, or wrapped scarves around their faces to avoid breathing the smoky air.
Watkins grabbed his iPad and backpack, then hurried from the dark, smoky bore with an estimated 150 to 200 other motorists. The stranded commuters were asked to wait for instructions on the center divide for about 40 minutes, said Watkins, adding that officials asked the group if anyone was a nurse or an EMT.
"People were coughing a lot from the very beginning," he said. "I wouldn't be surprised to hear that people went to the hospital."
Oakland Fire Battalion Chief Lisa Baker said seven children were taken to Children's Hospital Oakland to be treated for smoke inhalation, and one adult was taken to Alta Bates. All hospitalizations were made as a precaution, she said, and no serious injuries were reported.
The 1982 fire in the westbound bore killed seven people after a drunken driver's stalled car, a speeding bus and an overturned gasoline tanker combined to cause a superheated, toxic fire, one of the worst tunnel fires in U.S. history. Inadequate monitoring, lack of changeable message signs or signals at the entrance and inside, and lack of communication between tunnel personnel and motorists contributed to the severity of the fire, the National Transportation Safety Board later concluded.
Today, tankers carrying hazardous chemicals are prohibited from traveling through the tunnel for 22 hours a day, and emergency responders are equipped with more tools, such as cameras throughout each bore, to react to emergencies more quickly and efficiently.
Signs warn the 160,000 motorists who drive through the three bores each day to slow for accidents, and wiring has been added for cellphone communication.
MOFD and Oakland firefighters train a couple of times a year for Caldecott Tunnel fire response, Perkins said. Usually, they shut down a bore in the middle of the night for training.
About 11 a.m., the middle bore of the Caldecott Tunnel was switched to accommodate eastbound traffic, CHP Officer Ron Simmons said, and all lanes of traffic in both eastbound bores were open by noon. Officials said a hanging electrical wire that briefly closed one lane of the right bore was caused by the incident itself, and it was ruled out as the cause of the fire.

PGE ► San Bruno Fire - An Alternate Theory Leading To Another Fire


PG&E: San Bruno Fire - An Alternate Theory Leading To Another Fire  



Date: January 22nd 2013 Author: Pete Bennett
Reference Link: Suspected and Known Arson Fires 

Pleasant Hill CA:  Shortly after the San Bruno Fire in 2011 a PGE high performance engineer was sitting a desk across from me at my web start-up located at 1923a Oak Park Blvd, Pleasant Hill CA requesting a nearly useless database project.  This person was nice enough but under extreme duress, lacked focus but also highly agitated when former Lt. David Oberhoffer appeared shortly after he arrived but he never seemed interested in his project.  

A deposit was presented to build a skeleton database for his ongoing litigation which sounded like extortion by a former employee who teamed up with an attorney.  What wasn't known then was he worked for PGE but the nearly impossible coincidence was the San Bruno Fire was 

Sept 2010 a few days after the San Bruno Fire  A PGE High Performance Engineer order a database solution for his litigation support needs.  My best guess was this was perhaps a few bankers boxes but in retrospect he didn't need the database and was there about former San Francisco Police Officer David Oberhoffer who retired in June 2010.  My problem with Oberhoffer is his connection to the Piedmont Lumber Fire and his connection to persons that I know have tried to run me off the road.  

he paid a deposit but never returned calls but that afternoon Oberhoffer arrived and this guy appeared to be scared to death of him.  

By February 2011 a company called Ravenelle Enterprises calls from Fresno saying they "found" my resume on Craigslist. They said they wanted to hire me but given I was homeless, broke, and barely surviving I said yes, sure, no problem, when do you want to start but knowing that I was sleeping in the rain it was going to be tough road.  

My problem was getting clothes and getting around.  Then my phone goes off but Ravenelle apparently undeflected by my problems makes contact again after the phone was off for three weeks.  We meet in Walnut Creek and this VP presents my resume that was posted back fall 2010.  

I get hired, Ravenelle sells me a car, gets me traveling to Newman, Modesto, Concord, and PGE Offices on Wiget Lane

I've spent several years piecing together job histories, other cases, arson fires, insurance fraud and other stoked up deflection stories.  



  • ex DOD
  • ex Military 
  • Explosives Background
  • Large Properties e.g. land in Northern California
  • Current law enforcement or friends of law enforcement
  • Persons deployed in a military sensitive positions
  • Access to logistics, banking, finance, drones and Cointelpro investigations
  • Access to Law Enforcement Databases and Intel
While neighborhoods erupt in flames with huge pipeline explosions, staged and faked arrests underneath there are many good officers but in my case someone had plans for me. 

Looking motives on the San Bruno Fire using a disruption model one could surmise that disrupting gas lines could create a ripple effect throughout the system or region.  Gas transmission and power arrive at numerous entry points.  My past project once included mapping SBC Global's DSL system to orders.  Not complicated but an eye opener but SBC inadvertently bankrupted the agency responsible for paying me back in 2001.  So much for feeding your kids but Hicks Consulting sued and won so SBC retaliated by cutting off Hicks Consulting.  


Please see Case CIVMSC02-00313 - HICKS VS SBC SERVICES or CC-courts.org

Giving Credit where it's due
  • PG&E is moving in the right direction in regards to safety and placing citizens over the cantankerous PUC debates but working in unison instead of cross principles would help facilitate progress.  
  • The neighborhood you're protecting could be yours, mine or your family. 
  • The businesses that rely on consistent and reliable power that drive one of the largest economies in the world rely on an aging system with systemic problems from legacy that has left the room long ago.  
It would be nice for SBC to pony up as the Agency filed Bankruptcy and vanished.  The project broke down after working for months without payment. 

Mid September 2010 PG&E High Performance Engineer

Around early September 2010 right around the San Bruno Fire a person (Coded: H.S.) contacted me for software services.  He arrived either the first or second Saturday after the biggest pipeline fire in the country.  He placed an order for services, left a deposit and was instructed return with documents.  The problem was he never returned but the bigger problem was when Oberhoffer arrived on top of this appointment but today I'm highly suspect of Oberhoffer's timing and his connection to other suspect events, his job history, and suspiciously early pictures he took of the Piedmont Lumber Fire that was a Johnny on the Spot scoop or perhaps he knows more.

Months later I'm homeless, either fighting for survival or meeting some of the nicest down and outs around.  Stuck in San Francisco Tenderloin for four months but using by Singing To Survive I returned to Walnut Creek by Christmas where I connected with Hillside Covenant Church.

  1. Anyone connected to PGE is not my normal client 
  2. The High Performance Engineer would be an innocuous event except that this was days after the San Bruno Fire 
  3. The other person in the room possessed images of the Piedmont Lumber Fire that in my opinion plus that of others was far too early in the fire. 
  4. The day of the Piedmont fire I was attending State Senators Mark Desauliniers event at the Lafayette library more or less ranting about what would surface as CNET. 
  5. That afternoon my engine threw a rod - oops the oil sensing light failed - thank god for Mormons who sell crappy cars. 
The vendor for PGE owes me about $10,000 but PGE's attorneys have ignored me saying that their vendors are responsible for paying their bills.  They took my time sheets and got paid but decided that paying me was not in their best interest.  Weeks later my car was totaled in Lafayette - search on accident in this blog.  

Senator DeSaulnier showed concern initially but my concerns are the San Bruno Fire is a critical infrastructure component required for the worlds 11th largest economy to function.  I didn't ask for this connection but my suspect is relentless but I've filed police reports in Walnut Creek, Lafayette and Pleasant Hill but since filing them I've had about three solid attempts on life - e.g. car accidents, someone from Hillside Covenant Church tried to run me over in Lafayette - Lt. Gorski told me to pound sand while he was busy driving Vice Ultra Lounge out of business, the Chief of Police of Lafayette, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Danville and Clayton have all announced their retirements since CNET became a household name. 

Wait until you read about the connection to my arson map and Peter Branagh where I was at event where CCSO detectives appeared.  A movie making event where they made me the star?  Not really but days later a young kid at the Walnut Creek McDonald's yelled Daddy it's Pete, get your gun! 

I get it - I get that the story is far from over.

Fire at old Antioch fire station was arson, officials say

By Katie Nelson Contra Costa Times
POSTED:   01/03/2014 05:53:35 PM PST | UPDATED:   10 DAYS AGO


ANTIOCH -- A blaze that caused $10,000 in damage to an old fire station Thursday night was arson, a fire official said.
Fire Inspector George Laing with the Contra Costa Fire Protection District said the investigation into the fire is ongoing, but evidence at the scene confirmed that someone intentionally set the blaze. The building is now owned by the city of Antioch.
The building was solely used for training purposes until three or four years ago, Laing said, and has since been sitting idle. Laing said the vacant building has attracted some trouble; as recently as a month ago, copper wire was stolen from inside the building's walls.
While the flames were contained to one room in the old station, fire crews said smoke damage extended through much of the building, resulting in $10,000 in damage.
Neighbors were able to provide possible suspect descriptions to investigators regarding who may have set the fire, but that information is not being released yet, Laing said.
The fire, on Deerfield Drive, was reported around 8:20 p.m. Thursday. Crews were able to knock the fire down by 8:50 p.m.

Chez Panisse restaurant closed after fire

Re-posted from Contra Costa Times 
Note:  There are numerous fires in Contra Costa County that bear strong connections to this one.  The Easy Bay Arsonist often starts the fires on porches, sheds and structures near the building.  

Keywords: Arson, Restaurant Fire, Fire Starter, 3AM, 


BERKELEY -- The world-famous Chez Panisse restaurant was damaged by a fire early Friday morning, but a sprinkler in a downstairs dining room may have saved the building from being destroyed, fire officials said.
A tearful Alice Waters stood in front of the Berkeley iconic eatery she co-founded in 1971, recalling a fire that started more than 30 years ago, as she cooked in the kitchen.
After touring the darkened restaurant with fire officials early Friday morning, the stress of the event was evident on Waters' face which started with a grimace went to a smile and back to the countenance of someone trying very hard to keep herself together. As she exited the building and crossed Shattuck Avenue to talk with waiting press, a fire official accompanied her, and she hugged her long time pastry chef Mary Jo Thorsen.
"It brings up a lot of emotional sadness for me," a barely audible Waters said to rows of news cameras and microphones. "It reminded me of the first time when it took out a wall between the kitchen and the dining room. I'm just glad nobody was in the building."
No one was injured in the blaze, which was reported just after 3 a.m. at the restaurant at 1517 Shattuck Ave. The fire was under control by about 4:30 a.m.
Damage was heavy in the front porch area, near where the fire was thought to have started. Flames spread inside the building, to a downstairs dining area, but a sprinkler there controlled the blaze as

firefighters worked from the inside, likely saving the building, according to Berkeley fire spokesman Avery Webb.
Waters already had some new ideas for fixing the charred downstairs portion of her restaurant.
"The first thought I had is maybe we should extend the dining room out," Waters said.
The fire initially was being treated as suspicious in nature because it started under the porch which is "unusual," Webb said. But investigators also are focusing on some electrical equipment under the porch as a possible cause.
"They don't know whether it was an electrical problem or someone smoking out front or what," Waters said.
Both Waters and Webb said that considering the relatively low amount of fire damage, the restaurant could conceivably reopen as soon as next week.
"It's hard to say what they'll allow us to do," Waters said. She said it was a "miracle" that there appeared to be no damage to the structural beams that hold up the building.
But smoke damage to the entire restaurant will be an issue, Webb said. He said the city's health department will also have to inspect the building before it reopens.
It's always smoky in there," Waters said. "I guess we'll just have to burn more rosemary."
Webb estimated the damage at $150,000 to $200,000.

Orinda: Fire guts home, two residents displaced

By Rick Hurd Contra Costa Times
POSTED:   01/13/2014 09:09:31 AM PST | UPDATED:   25 MIN. AGO


ORINDA -- Two people were displaced after a fire gutted a two-story home in Orinda on Sunday night, a fire official said.
A neighbor across the street was the first one to report the blaze, which began around 10 p.m. on Bobolink Road, Moraga-Orinda Fire District Chief Stephen Healy said. Fire crews arrived to find flames coming from about half the 2,500-square-foot home and vegetation outside beginning to burn, prompting a second alarm, Healy said.
According to neighbors, the residents of the house were not at home when the fire started. None of the neighboring houses were damaged, and nobody was injured, he said.

Fire crews contained the blaze in 21 minutes. Healy said 29 personnel from the MOFD and Contra Costa Fire Protection District were involved in fighting the blaze, which caused approximately $800,000 in damages to the home. Healy said crews attempted to salvage some belongings in the home, but that parts of the house began collapsing later Monday morning, making any salvage work unsafe.
"It's too dangerous to go in there, so we're trying to determine whether the next step is to bulldoze the rest of it," he said. "It's not inhabitable."
The Red Cross was requested to help the residents find housing, but it was not known if they were going to use other alternatives, Healy said.
The origin and cause of the fire remains under investigation, but Healy said it does not appear to be suspicious.

Contra Costa County Fire Protection District appoints new chief -now perhaps the 1776 Ygnacio Valley Road Fire might be solved




Contra Costa County Fire Protection District appoints new chief

By Jennifer Modenessi Contra Costa Times
POSTED:   09/21/2013 03:09:53 PM PDT | UPDATED:   75 MIN. AGO

MARTINEZ -- County supervisors have appointed Roseville Fire Department assistant chief of operations Jeff Carman as the new fire chief of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
The supervisors, who also act as the fire district board, officially appointed Carman Sept. 17. He starts his new job Oct. 21.
Carman replaces fire Chief Daryl Louder, who announced his resignation in April. Louder's last day with the district is Oct. 31.
Supervisors selected Carman in August from an initial pool of 42 applicants.
Carman's monthly starting salary is $15,527.14. In October, county Human Resources Director Ted Cwiek will ask the board to approve reallocating the fire chief's salary to a higher step; Carman's base salary will be $195,641.88 annually. That salary is 5 percent higher than the retiring chief's, according to County Administrator David Twa. The county, he said, increased the chief's salary range to make the recruitment pool "as broad as possible."
The nine-day overlap between the two chiefs will cost $6,500, which will come from the fire district's operating budget.
Carman will also start his new position with a vacation credit of 80 hours and a relocation reimbursement of up to $10,000. Twa told supervisors the new chief will be entitled to accrued vacation of 23.3 hours a month, which is what Carman receives in his current position.
"Traditionally, when we've brought department heads in, we've brought them in at the same level of benefits that they are receiving from their position," Twa said.
As a county employee, Carman's retirement benefits will be managed by the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association.
Because Carman was previously a member of the California Public Employees' Retirement System, he's not subject to new state pension reforms. Additionally, when he retires, Carman will receive retirement benefits from both agencies.
After approving his appointment, the board welcomed their new chief.
"We are looking forward to working together, and resolution to a number of issues we face here in the fire district," said Supervisor Federal Glover.
Carman was not in attendance at that meeting.

======================================================================
UPDATE June 23 2013 - I posted these articles as they were extremely close to my sons residence.  Given that I was cut off from them andd given the number of incidents in Contra Costa that are arson - that was enough for me - 

5:30 p.m. Update: Man dies in Magalia fire

By Rick SilvaManaging Editor
The Butte County Sherriff's office and Butte County Fire Investigation Team are investigating a fatal fire that at a single wide mobile home on Drexel Road in Magalia.
The fire, which authorities say was the second one at the home in two weeks, occurred at 2:47 a.m. and began in the back bedroom.
The name of the man who died is being withheld until deputies can get a positive identification, though Sgt. Jason Hail said they believe that they know the name of the victim.
Firefighters were called after a neighbor Marion Prevatt, 40, was awakened by his growling dog as if someone was in his yard.
But when Prevatt looked outside, he saw the mobile directly across the street from his emanating smoke and ran across the street to help his neighbor.
“About the time I got there to the front door, there

as like an explosion,” he said. “Something went boom and fire just came out the window and of everything else.”
Despite the fire and the explosion, Prevatt said he still tried getting to his neighbor.
“I got to the ice box near his back room,” he said. “But it got so hot that I started to choke out. I went in three different times … I barely made it out myself.”
Prevatt said he tried yelling for the man to come out and went down to his knees at one point. He said the man never responded to his calls and never yelled for help of any kind.
“I hollered his name but he never responded,” he said.  
Prevatt said the man usually sleeps on the couch and when he entered the house, he noticed the man wasn't there.
“I've never seen him go back there,” he said. “I knew something was wrong when I could find him.”
That is when he made his way to the back of the house, but was overcome with smoke and heat.
“It was so hot, I could see the orange glowing under the door,” he said. “I tried everything I could do to bring the guy out. I just couldn't do it.”
He said the man was a frequent visitor to his home and traded movies with him.
“He was kind of like my father,” he said. “But then my father passed away. He was kind of a role model.
CAL Fire Capt. Joe Tapia said the fire is still under investigation and says it could a month to get finish the investigation.
Tapia said last week's fire at the home and Wednesday morning's fire were both being investigated but would not deem them suspicious.
Hail said that deputies were there for a very in-depth coroner's report and that they are waiting an autopsy to determine cause of death.

The Butte County Sherriff's office and Butte County Fire Investigation Team are investigating a fatal fire that at a single wide mobile home on Drexel Road in Magalia.
The fire, which authorities say was the second one at the home in two weeks, occurred at 2:47 a.m. and began in the back bedroom.
The name of the man who died is being withheld until deputies can get a positive identification, though Sgt. Jason Hail said they believe that they know the name of the victim.
Firefighters were called after a neighbor Marion Prevatt, 40, was awakened by his growling dog as if someone was in his yard.
But when Prevatt looked outside, he saw the mobile directly across the street from his emanating smoke and ran across the street to help his neighbor.
“About the time I got there to the front door, there

as like an explosion,” he said. “Something went boom and fire just came out the window and of everything else.”
Despite the fire and the explosion, Prevatt said he still tried getting to his neighbor.
“I got to the ice box near his back room,” he said. “But it got so hot that I started to choke out. I went in three different times … I barely made it out myself.”
Prevatt said he tried yelling for the man to come out and went down to his knees at one point. He said the man never responded to his calls and never yelled for help of any kind.
“I hollered his name but he never responded,” he said.  
Prevatt said the man usually sleeps on the couch and when he entered the house, he noticed the man wasn't there.
“I've never seen him go back there,” he said. “I knew something was wrong when I could find him.”
That is when he made his way to the back of the house, but was overcome with smoke and heat.
“It was so hot, I could see the orange glowing under the door,” he said. “I tried everything I could do to bring the guy out. I just couldn't do it.”
He said the man was a frequent visitor to his home and traded movies with him.
“He was kind of like my father,” he said. “But then my father passed away. He was kind of a role model.
CAL Fire Capt. Joe Tapia said the fire is still under investigation and says it could a month to get finish the investigation.
Tapia said last week's fire at the home and Wednesday morning's fire were both being investigated but would not deem them suspicious.
Hail said that deputies were there for a very in-depth coroner's report and that they are waiting an autopsy to determine cause of death.

A four-alarm fire on the second floor of a Walnut Creek office building early Monday quickly spread and forced fire officials to close down all 16 suites.

FIRE HITS WALNUT CREEK OFFICES - DOCTORS SAW PATIENTS IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER A 3 A.M. BLAZE CLOSED 16 LEGAL AND MEDICAL SUITES ON YGNACIO VALLEY ROAD

Contra Costa Times (Walnut Creek, CA) - Tuesday, September 25, 2001

Fifty firefighters fought the 3:16 a.m. blaze for more than two hours, said Contra Costa Fire District Battalion Chief Steve Maiero.

"Investigators are trying to pinpoint the exact area of origin," Maiero said. "Part of the roof completely burned through and structural beams were heavily damaged."

Maiero estimated damage would exceed $1 million.

Dr. Peter Binstock stood just steps away from his office when his patient, Ranella Elder of Antioch, walked up to him in the hours just after the fire . Elder had a 9:45 a.m. appointment.

"It's odd," Elder said. "I come here and the building's on fire and (my doctor) is actually looking at my finger in the middle of the parking lot."

Binstock, who specializes in infectious diseases, said he wasn't worried about having to relocate.

"Eighty to 90 percent of our patients are hospital-based," he said.

Building owner Scot Bergren said it could take at least six months to restore the building, but he hoped a few tenants would be allowed back earlier into suites where the damage wasn't so severe.

"It's a shame that all these poor tenants and patients are being inconvenienced," he said. "This is not a great day for anybody. We'll just make the best of it and move forward."

Frances Wymore, a legal secretary at the law offices of Mark P. Grundman, is one of 65 people who work in the building.

"I'm waiting for my boss to come and see if he can get us in" said Wymore, of Concord. She spent most of the afternoon in court, then purchased office supplies to replace the damaged ones inside.
